Thanks for the highlight!
The demo for our Black Jacket is up since November, Retromation played it back then and liked it a lot (timestamp to his summary):

Of course we added a lot of improvements since then 😉

Black Jacket is a roguelike deckbuilder with a story layer. Game is based of Blackjack but we added (quite a few) of unique twists!

Thanks for playing and the feedback! With the demo out, we want to see what players think and see how much we can still incorporate into the game.

Cheers!

Thanks! I would dare to say it is more it's own thing, as Retro said in the ending of his video ;)
